"Part of the paid leave was my vacation time. You may be able to take a week or two more than FMLA (unpaid), but you need to work it out with your manager. Also see if you can come back part time. They tend to be flexible."

"ADP has been AMAZING! I'm very happy here. I joined ADP when I was four months pregnant and had two babies during my tenure. I remember being nervous to tell my hiring manager during the interview process, but she congratulated me and brought me immediately on board. (Fairygodboss, where were you six years ago during this frantic time? Glad you are here now to help others in a similar boat! :) Benefits have been great around maternity (and keep getting better!). The work/life balance has been fantastic - I do not need to miss out on the important things at home. Very flexible. The company is invested in development/training for all of its associates. This is important to me. I'm receiving fantastic leadership development training at the moment, as well as going through an external certification program paid for by the company so I can get better at what I do. Love this! I've been promoted three times in six years - there is definitely opportunity here! My work is challenging, rewarding, and fun. And, I feel that ADP has valued my contributions since day one. 5 stars!!!!!"

"The info above was my experience several years ago. With my second child, I took three months. I was given an additional paid week for baby bonding time as well that I could use up until my child turned one year old. I believe I've seen new changes around parental leave - additional benefits, so not sure this is the most recent info."

"The maternity pay policy in the UK isn't great, you get 100% of your salary for 6 weeks then your pay is reduced to the UK statutory limit of £145.18 per week However on return from maternity leave the company is very flexible, offering job share or reduced hours etc. "

"While I put in a lot of time to get things in order before leave, my leader and team were incredibly supportive and ensured I didn't have to worry about a thing while I was gone which was very comforting! "

"I have been at ADP ten years and it has been great overall. The maternity and parental leave policies definitely could be more generous like some other large companies, but the work culture and atmosphere are very family friendly. There is great flexibility and an awareness that people have a life outside of work with other responsibilities and interests (not always family-related). "

"Just like an other employer, make sure you get to know who will be your boss and try to engage the level of flex time that person will have.
Maternity leave process is complicated but worth it!"

"Paternal leave is now 2 paid weeks that can be used at the end, during the leave (when you drop to 60%) or during the first 6 months of the baby's life. It used to only be one week, so this is a nice update to the leave policy!
The maternity leave was very complicated. Between the short term leave vendor, leaves department, State, and our HR dept/payroll, different information was provided. It was very complex and frustrating. Thankfully, I had internal contacts that helped me navigate and it all worked out. "

"6 weeks were paid through short term disability, 2 weeks were my own vacation, and 2 were parental weeks that I was able to use at any time during the babies first 6 months. "

"I've taken maternity leave 3 times. For the first pregnancy I stayed home for almost 12 weeks but the last 3 weeks were vacation time. This pregnancy I did the same thing. That's how I was paid for the entire time."

"Paid weeks are 6 weeks through Short Term Disability (and partially covered by State Disability Inusrance) and 2 weeks of Paid Parental Leave. Bonus is prorated to account for time out on leave. The HR process to take leave and get paid is extremely complex."

"The 5 additional weeks I took were "paid" in that I saved up all of my PTO time to use to extend my time off. I do wish we had a better maternity leave policy as many did not have the opportunity to take PTO time and were back to work very soon after birth. I did not feel as much support as I expected when I returned and learned to transition back to work while being a new mother (and trying to manage all of my work responsibilities on little to no sleep). However, the offices do have wonderful "Mothers Rooms" to allow for a very private and comfortable space to pump. "

"I was not expected to work during maternity leave. Any time I checked in was because I wanted to, not because it was expected. I had the flexibility to use vacation time to compensate beyond by disability if I chose, and the company recently introduced some additional paid family leave benefits."

"The maternity leave policy is generous but taking maternity leave is a very complicated and stressful process. Almost to the point that you wonder if they make it so difficult to deter people from taking it. If you are lucky you will get a good manager who is flexible with your schedule should you happen to be a working mother. "

"Normal time off is six weeks regardless of delivery method and that's not enough. I was appreciative of the two weeks of parental leave that were granted on top of the six that were given. I just wish I didn't have to get the dr to say that I needed a full 8 weeks (and more) to fully recover from my c-section. "

"ADP is amazing. They really looked at my skills in another industry, applied my transferable skills, and brought me in at a leadership level (where my skills aligned) all while I was in my third trimester of pregnancy. My direct leader, a male, and his leader, a female, were both very welcoming and understanding of me as a whole. I was able to take my maternity leave and never once felt like I was at risk of loosing my position or that my work was unvalued since I had been away. I will always brag about how awesome ADP has treated me as a competent employee, a mother, a spouse to an active duty military member, and a person. "

"I've experienced good balance that allows me to be with my two small children, to be available to them as needed and to work remotely as needed. My manager is very very flexible. The only negative thing I've experienced is the mess that is maternity leave. The leave administration here is pretty clueless - I had to figure it all out for myself. "

"After the twelve weeks of state leave, I took the two offered by the company. The experience overall was pretty confusing and I wish I'd known I could have used some of my accrued vacation to extend my leave. But overall, I got to be home quite a long time, so I can't complain! "

"Maternity leave at ADP is not as good as other companies I've worked for. The employee must do all the work filing for state benefits and other insurance benefits. Other companies do all of this for you and just continue to pay your regular salary. Plus, included paid time off includes vacation time. They also denied my doctor's request to extend leave by 2 weeks because of a C-section. "
